STORY: TikTok is laying off hundreds of employees from its global workforce.
The social media giant said Friday (October 11) it’s part of a shift towards a greater use of AI in content moderation.
Malaysia is particularly hard hit, as two sources told Reuters more than 700 jobs were slashed in the country.
Though ByteDance-owned TikTok later said fewer than 500 employees in Malaysia were affected.
The employees were mostly involved in the firm’s content moderation operations.
TikTok employs a mix of automated detection and human moderators to review content posted on the site.
A source said the tech firm also plans more cost reductions next month as it looks to consolidate some of its regional operations.
TIkTok said it expects to invest $2 billion globally in trust and safety this year, and will continue to improve efficiency.
It further added 80% of content violating guidelines was now removed by automated technologies.
